Mr. George's Green
2012
Once the location of the Beerman Tennis Complex, Mr. George's Green, located in front of Jenkins Field House, provides a wide space for students to gather, host outdoor events, and participate in wellness activities. The green was named after George Jenkins, founder of Publix Supermarkets, Polk County legend, and Honorary Chancellor, after a major gift from his daughter Dr. Carol Jenkins Barnett (Class of 1979) on behalf of Publix Super Markets Charities. Surrounding Mr. George's Green is the Honor Walk, which was added and rededicated in 2013.
